Zaya's Birthday!!

This year for Isaiah's birthday I made him a big chocolate layer cake! He loves chocolate so what better than a huge chocolate cake for his birthday? It was the first layer cake I have ever made and am happy to say it turned out really good! He loves seeing the candles in the cake, but he still hasn't quite figured out how to blow strong enough to blow them out, so we had to help him. I decorated the house with streamers so that when he woke up from his nap he would be surprised! He thought they were pretty neat. I also made him BBQ hot dogs because he loves anything barbecue and he loves hot dogs! They were a big hit as well, but he wasn't a huge fan of the potato salad. He loved the balloons daddy brought home and had a blast playing with them! He loved pulling on the strings and then watching them go back up to the ceiling. The day after his birthday he discovered that the latex ones were fun to sit on. He had a blast and then kept asking me to find the balloon after it popped! Silly boy. We were going to take him to the park to play, but after he got his tricycle he just wanted to ride that around the whole time. We had a great time celebrating his birthday. I can't believe he is two already! My how the time flies. The whole day on his birthday he kept talking about chocolate presents and chocolate cupcakes. He is too funny! He also loved it every time we would sing him happy birthday or someone would call to wish him a happy birthday! He is getting so grown up and very independent. Thanks for all the birthday cards and gifts grandmas and grandpas!! He had just as much fun opening his cards as he did his presents!

Happy boy on his big day!

He also loved the Happy Birthday sign and kept pointing to all the letters and naming them all.

This smile cracks me up!

Opening his presents!

Riding his tricycle for the first time!

He hasn't quite got the concept of how to peddle yet, but he had lots of fun just pushing it around too!

Getting ready to blow out his candles.

Bouncing on his balloons.

Balloon couldn't take it anymore...and popped!

Zaya sad...he kept telling me to find the balloon and asking where it went. :)

Realizing there was still one left to bounce on. :)
